Dutch delegation travels to China – Nexperia exports resume

The Dutch government has welcomed China's decision to ease export license requirements for Nexperia's legacy semiconductors. Economic Affairs Minister Vincent Karremans described the move as an important signal for restoring reliable chip supply chains for Europe and the global market. In a November 13th statement, Karremans emphasized that the Netherlands, together with European and international partners, is **monitoring** whether shipments from Nexperia's Chinese plants are **actually resuming** in practice, and not just on paper. The situation is being watched "very closely" to determine **when trade has fully resumed**. To secure progress and achieve a **lasting solution**, the Dutch government will send a **high-level delegation to Beijing next week**. The goal is to continue diplomatic talks, stabilize supply chains, and strengthen mutual reliability between the EU and China. "The Netherlands remains committed to diplomatic dialogue with China," Karremans stated, adding that the upcoming trip should help find a **"mutually viable solution"** to ensure Europe's long-term access to the legacy chips crucial for **automotive and industrial applications**
